Fake Mayo?

After over indulging for brunch yesterday, I wanted to eat healthy today. Chicken salad might be one of my favorite lunches. The only problem is, I dislike mayo. I don’t like the texture, taste and look of it. I find no nutritional value in it either. I typically eat chicken salad in the summer when I can use grilled chicken. I’m talking BBQ chicken thighs on the grill. I stopped at the food emporium on 9th. Walking past the vegan/vegetarian aisle, the Vegenaise caught my eye. I’ve heard of it but never tried it. Today was the day. At $6.99 it better be good. In addition I bought

1 bunch of celery

1 honey crisp apple

1 rotisserie chicken

1 head of Boston lettuce

Shred the chicken and mix it with the apple, celery, salt, pepper and vegenaise.

What exactly is Vegenaise you ask?

“Vegenaise is an egg-free spread that is a healthier, tastier option to regular mayo. Made with exclusively Non-GMO ingredients and using only heart-healthy, expeller-pressed oils. It is made without any of the artificial ingredients, trans fats or preservatives. Its naturally gluten- and dairy-free and certified Kosher Parve.” For more info, check out their website, http://followyourheart.com/faq-categories/ingredients/
